He’s won League and county titles aplenty and now Aaron King has added a new one to his collection to complete a history-making double.
Having already won the first Shropshire 18-25 Merit in July at Wem BC, the Newport bowler added the League’s Under-25 Merit on Saturday 20th August.
But this time it took just two wins for Aaron to come out on top at Horsehay as a disappointing entry of just four bowlers contested the title.
He beat Jodie Taylor 21-10 in the final after leading 7-1 before three quickfire doubles got the Wrockwardine Wood bowler back in the hunt at 12-8 adrift.
But that’s when Aaron, a past Shropshire Junior Merit champion and Junior Waterloo winner,turned on the afterburners following his relief in edging out Harry Church 21-20 in the semi-finals, while Jodie was beating another Sinclair hopeful in Jordan Millman 21-11.
He is PICTURED receiving his reward from League chairman Sean Round
The next League competition is for the younger element too with the Under-15 and Under-18 Merits to be played on Sunday 4th September at Sir John Bayley from 11am.
League chiefs also hope to play the Fletcher Junior Doubles on the same day and junior selectors Brenda Slingo and Derek Killen are hoping for a big turnout in preparation for the Shropshire junior inter-league the following Sunday, being hosted by the Tanners Shropshire League.
